Kill all the dogs found in Madinah.”He says that I saw some Ansari women in Jannat al-Baqi’ who had some trees, and those women also had dogs with them. They said,“O Abu Rafi’! The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has sent our men for jihad. After Allah, now only these dogs protect us, and by Allah, no one dares to come near us.
